Soccer

13 years old – released from Arsenal’s academy.

18 years old – Millwall didn’t offer a professional contract.

22 years old – record-breaking sale from QPR.

26 years old – European Championship runner-up and scorer of the winning goal in the FA Cup with Crystal Palace.

Eberechi Eze’s journey? Absolute cinema. Here’s what he said about facing constant rejections:

“Of course, you have doubts. You wonder if you’ll get a professional contract, if you’ll become who you hoped to be. It built huge resilience in me. Being released isn’t the best feeling, and you’re not in the best mental state.

But you have to be strong, brave. You can’t let setbacks define where you end up in life.”

Him and Palace winning the cup is another beautiful fairytale of football!
